How Santa Stole Krampus 
An Act Of Piracy Short Story

Eric Deumont, captain of the pirate ship Armide, does not make a good Santa Claus. His partner Kyros disagrees and since the full moon is coming soon, Araceli can’t play the role. That leaves Eric to entertain the children and hand out presents.



But there’s something different about this full moon. Something dangerous. The spirit trapped in Araceli’s body crawls closer to the surface with every passing hour, craving blood.



It’s up to Eric to save Christmas.
